AI Voice Invoicing in English and Arabic — Issue an Invoice in 30 Seconds

If you've ever finished a meeting in a Dubai parking lot and meant to invoice the client before forgetting half the detail, this is for you. Hisabi now ships AI voice invoicing in English and Arabic — hold the mic, say what you'd write in an email, and the invoice is ready to review in seconds.

How It Works

Open the AI invoice creator. Tap the microphone. Speak for up to 60 seconds. "Invoice Acme Trading for fifteen hours of consulting at four hundred and fifty dirhams an hour, due in fourteen days, project reference Q2 strategy review." Or in Arabic, equally well.

Hisabi transcribes the audio, then a structured-extraction model pulls out client name, line items, quantity, unit price, currency, due date, and notes. You land on a pre-filled invoice form. Review, adjust if needed, send.

Why Voice, Why Now

Typing on a phone is slow. Typing in Arabic on a phone is slower. The invoicing step is often what gets dropped at the end of a long day, and a dropped invoice is unbilled revenue.

Voice removes the friction at exactly the moment work is freshest in your mind. Right after the meeting, before the next one starts, while you remember the rate and the scope. The data quality of a voice-issued invoice is materially higher than one entered three days later from memory.

Confidence and Review

Like every Hisabi AI feature, the voice extractor returns a per-field confidence score. Anything below 70% confidence is highlighted yellow on the review form so you know exactly where to look. Rates, dates, and amounts are the most common low-confidence fields — the model flags them rather than guessing silently.

Privacy

Audio is processed for transcription and then deleted. We don't keep voice recordings. The transcribed text is processed once for extraction and stored as part of the resulting invoice draft (because it's now part of your business record). If you cancel out without saving, the draft is discarded.

When to Use It (and When Not To)

Use voice for: short, single-line invoices issued on the move; multi-line invoices when you have the figures memorised; quick rough drafts you'll polish on a laptop later; switching between Arabic and English without typing.

Don't use voice for: invoices with long line-item descriptions you want exact; invoices with multiple currencies in one document; invoices where you're reading off a printed scope and would copy-paste anyway. Email-to-invoice or image-to-invoice is faster in those cases.

English (UAE/Gulf accent and standard) and Arabic (Khaleeji and Modern Standard Arabic). Mixed-language input — for example, English with Arabic client names — also works because the transcription model recognises code-switching.

We measure word error rates around 4–6% on UAE business audio in clean conditions, comparable to commercial dictation tools. Noisy environments (cars with windows down, crowded coffee shops) push that higher. The confidence scoring catches most mis-recognitions before they reach the invoice.

Voice extraction requires a Professional or Firm plan. Professional accounts get 1,500 AI generations a month (pooled across voice, text, and image); Firm accounts get 5,000. Free and Starter accounts can use text, email, and image extraction but not voice. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.

Yes. The extracted data is language-agnostic. You can dictate in Arabic and produce a bilingual EN+AR invoice, an English-only invoice, or an Arabic-only invoice — the choice is on the review screen. The PDF rendering uses Vazirmatn typography for Arabic and Inter for English regardless of dictation language.
